Yes--but the point is, Amazon is willing to forgo some current profits to assure future ones, so discussing whether/how much they are losing money on the ebook bestsellers is fairly irrelevant. Having them available sells lots of other books, on which they do not take a loss. They might be able to continue that way forever, or they might need to adjust their system in a year or two.
